2.5 Contingent strategies for Livestock, Poultry & Fisheries
2.5.1 Livestock
Suggested contingency measures Before the event During the event After the event Drought
Feed and fodder availability
As the district is occasionally prone to drought the following practices may be implemented to prevent fodder shortage problem
Sowing of cereals (fodder varieties of Sorghum/Bajra) and leguminous crops (Lucerne, Berseem, Horse gram, Cowpea) during North-East monsoon under dry land system for fodder production.
Collection of soybean, gram and chick pea stover for use as feed supplement during drought
Preserving the green maize fodder as silage
Encourage fodder production with Bajra – stylo- Bajra on rotation basis and also to cultivate short-term fodder crops like sunhemp
Harvest and use biomass of dried up crops (Rice, wheat, Maize, Soybean, Black gram, Green gram, chick pea etc., ) material as fodder
Harvest all the top fodder available (Subabul, Glyricidia, Pipol, Prosopis etc) and feed the LS during drought
Concentrate ingredients such as Grains,
brans, chunnies & oilseed cakes, low
grade grains etc. unfit for human
consumption should be procured from
Govt. Godowns for feeding as supplement
Encourage progressive farmers to grow multi cut fodder crops of sorghum/bajra/maize with input subsidy
Supply of quality stem cuttings of Hybrid napier (CO1), paragrass, guinea grass etc., well before monsoon
Encourage growing fodder crops like Berseem in winter and Juar in summer season
Flushing the stock to recoup
Replenish the feed and fodder
21
for high productive animals during
drought
Promotion of Horse gram as contingent crop and harvesting it at vegetative stage as fodder
Continuous supplementation of minerals and vitamin to prevent infertility.
Encourage mixing available kitchen waste with dry fodder while feeding to the milch animals
banks
Drinking water Adopt various water conservation methods at village level to improve the ground water level for adequate water supply.
Identification of water resources
Desilting of ponds
Rain water harvesting and create water bodies/watering points (when water is scarce use only as drinking water for animals)
Construction of drinking water tanks in herding places/village junctions/relief camp locations
Community drinking water trough can be arranged in sandies /community grazing areas
Adequate supply of drinking water.
Restrict wallowing of animals in water bodies/resources; Add alum in stagnated water bodies
Watershed management practices shall be promoted to conserve the rainwater. Bleach (0.1%) drinking water / water sources
Provide clean drinking water
Health and diseases management
Procure and stock emergency medicines and vaccines for important endemic diseases of the area
All the stock must be immunized for endemic diseases of the area
Surveillance and disease monitoring network to be established at Joint Director (Animal Husbandry) office in the district
Carryout de-worming to all animals entering into relief camps
Identification and quarantine of sick animals
Constitution of Rapid Action Veterinary Force
Performing ring vaccination (8 km radius) in case of any outbreak
Restricting movement of livestock in case of
Keep close surveillance on disease outbreak.
Undertake the vaccination depending on need

iii) Application of white reflector paint on the roof
iv) Thatched sheds should be provided as a shelter to animal to minimize heat stress
Allow the animals early in the morning or late in the evening for grazing during heat waves
Feed green fodder/silage / concentrates during day time and roughages / hay during night time in case of heat waves
Put on the foggers / sprinklers /fans during heat weaves in case of high yielders (Jersey/HF crosses)
In severe cases, vitamin ‘C’ and electrolytes should be added in H2O during heat waves.
Feed the animals as per routine schedule
Allow the animals for grazing (normal timings)
Cold wave Covering all the wire meshed walls / open area with gunny bags/ polyethylene sheets (with a mechanism for lifting during the day time and putting down during night time)
Allow for grazing between 10AM to 3PM during cold waves
Add 25-50 ml of edible oil in concentrates and fed to the animal during cold waves
Apply / sprinkle lime powder in the animal shed during cold waves to neutralize ammonia accumulation
Feed the animals as per routine schedule
Allow the animals for grazing (normal timings)

2.5.3 Fisheries/ Aquaculture
Suggested contingency measures Before the event During the event After the event Drought
Shallow water in ponds due to insufficient rains/inflow
1. Restricted release of water from reservoir. 2. Supplementary water harvest structures like pond and tanks have to be developed.
3. Renovation and maintenance of existing water harvest structures
1. Restrict lifting of water for irrigation purpose of crops
2. Catch the stock, market the produce to reduce the density of population in ponds.
1. Excavate the ponds to increase the depth.
2. Try to release water into the pond if it rains in off-season
Impact of heat & salt load build up in ponds / change in water quality
1. Prepare to release water into the habitat 1. Mixing of water from the water harvest structure like ponds and tanks into the fish habitat.
1. Monitoring the water quality and health of aquatic organisms
